Disclaimer: GAH. I do not own OHSHC. But maaaaaan, Kyouya sounds really hot!!!! :D Oh, and sorry if Kyouya gets a little OOC in this chapter, I just watched the commentaries with J. Michael Tatum, and am kinda basing Kyouya off of him…

Ahhhh! This chapter is basically a big wad of pent-up fluffiness. So yeah, lotsa fluff. So fluffy, you could nap on it. :)

Becky laughed at Tamaki's stupidity. I mean, everyone knows that the scanners aren't magic, right?

"Put M&Ms on layaway. What does layaway even do?" Shelby asked, looking at Kyouya, figuring that he would know.

"I think it's when someone puts a hold on something they want because they can't pay for it now."

"Who never has at least 300 yen around?" Hikaru and Kaoru asked in sync, looking at each other.

"Actually, like, a lot of people." Becky answered, looking at the twins.

"I've put Yu-Gi-Oh cards on layaway before… Well, technically, my dad did." Shelby said, putting a finger to her chin thoughtfully.

"Yu-Gi-Oh?" Kyouya asked, dumbfounded. Who actually watches Yu-Gi-Oh?

"Yeah. I used to be into that stuff, back in America. I mean, life was so boring there…"

"That's because nobody would talk to you because your nerdyness made you such a nerd nobody who wasn't a nerd couldn't stand your nerdyness. I mean, we were what, in middle school?! Who likes anime in middle school?!" Addie said, waving her hands around. "I mean, at that point in your life, you should be concerned with shopping, and clothes…"

Everyone rolled their eyes.

"Anyway, I think the twins would be best suited for it." Honey said, flowers dancing around his head.

"Yeah!" Becky agreed, her eyes lit up.

"'Kay, be back in a second."

Hikaru walked hand-in-hand with Kaoru up to the part of the store where people put stuff on layaway (Sorry, I dunno what that is…), and leaned over the table.

"Hey, Miss? We need a bag of M&Ms on layaway, pronto." Kaoru said, flipping his hair out of his eyes and looking away.

The woman looked slightly confused, then responded, "Okay…"

Kaoru and Hikaru both grinned symmetrically and walked off.

Addie turned to Shelby. "What's next?"

Shelby glanced at her. "I dunno, make Kyouya do it. I'm bored." She said, shoving the clipboard in Kyouya's general direction. Kyouya took it, and again, marveled at all the little doodles Shelby had drawn on the sides.

"Mommy, what are we doing next???" Tamaki asked, putting his hands on Kyouya's arm, and peering over onto the clipboard.

Kyouya looked oddly at the clipboard in front of him, and said "Move a 'Caution: Wet Floor' sign to a carpeted area.

Janna glanced over at the nearest C:WF (Caution: Wet Floor) sign, noticing that it was already on carpet.

"I think we have competition..." She carelessly commented, ignoring the flames arising behind Shelby.

"AH HA!!! COMPETITORS!!!" She screamed, drawing the attention of everyone around her. She walked up to a few people and questioned them. "OHMIGAWD, IS IT YOU?!"

Addie and Becky rolled their eyes.

Suddenly, an Ootori Police Force Member appeared from behind a clothing rack. "Master Ootori, what are you doing?!" the man shouted, and Kyouya's eyes widened slightly.

"Nothi-"

"Your father has been worried sick over you all morning! And when I tell him that you've been with-" He paused for a minute, and peered around Kyouya, as to affirm that Shelby was indeed still there, "-THAT girl, why, he'll be hystarical! Especially after he forbid you to see her again! Kyouya, she's no good!"

Shelby growled. Kyouya stepped in before she could knaw his arm off.

"Shelby isn't no good. Sure, she's still a bit... Odd, at times, she's still valuable as a person. She has a great personality, and is a wonderful girl!" Kyouya finished his speech, as Shelby merely watched, slack jawed, from behind him.

"All the sa- Master Ootori, you're not falling for this girl, are you?" the man grinned.

Kyouya flipped his hair out of his face. "I am. I'm not going to deny it. That's exactly why I'm not going to let you talk trash about her!" He shouted, slamming his fist on a counter. All the cashiers and other customers at the Wal-Mart had stopped their current duties and focused all attention on the group. Kyouya, mainly.

"Well, this will make for an interesting report..." the man said, walking out the automatic doors.

"...Shit." Kyouya cursed, sinking to the floor.

Becky, noticing the dead silence, turned to the people and yelled "WHAT 'CHU LOOKIN' AT?!"

And, as quickly as it stopped, all noise began again. Tamaki picked up the clipboard, as Kyouya had put it on the counter when his ranting began, and walked to Kyouya. "Do you..." he drifted off, figuring Kyouya would already know what he was asking. Kyouya made a weak nod.

Tamaki nodded. "Alright, everyone. Let's leave Shelby and Kyouya to talk things out."

And so, the gang left, leaving Shelby (who had fallen to the floor after the first wave of ranting) and Kyouya sitting on the floor.

"Listen, Shel-"

"DUDE. What was that? I could have handled him, and you wouldn't have had to-"

"Can I finish my sentence?"

"Can I finish mine?"

Kyouya looked at the sarcastic redhead, then smirked. "Me first."

"Fine."

Kyouya sighed. "Okay, here goes. I really like you, Shelby."

Shelby opened her mouth to say something, but closed it.

Kyouya took that as a sign to continue. "I'm not really good with all that romantic crap, because my fans back at the club don't really need that from me, but, with you... Well, I love you, Shelby Rose Shiinozuka."

And at this, Shelby laughed.

Kyouya's glasses went white again, the glare from the lights reflected in them. "What?"

"That... Whoa. I never thought the man of my dreams would confess to me at Wal-Mart!" Shelby laughed, and Kyouya found her laugh slightly amusing, yet as comforted by the fact that she said "the man of her dreams".

"I love you too, Kyouya Something Ootori." Shelby said, mocking the black haired boy.

-squee- Eeee!!! FLUFF!!!
